Bird Seed Bandit

I can't believe tomorrow will be June 1st! June is my favorite month of the year. This year I am excited to add another day to celebrate in June. We will now have June 27th as our Sealing Date, June 28th as our Wedding Anniversary and June 29th as my Birthday.

We started packing up a bit ago and I have made a little more progress in that area. I feel like I have gotten the kitchen pretty well packed. Its a little strange that in 10 days we will be all packed and out of our apartment!

Today was our last Sunday at our ward. It was nice, but I can't believe the year is over. I will miss the friends we made, but I know we will be hearing good things from them in the future. It was really nice to have our friend Jackie come by this morning and chat with her for a while. I know there is definitely a reason I met her this year. She has been such a wonderful example to me and I hope I can be like her in so many ways!

I am feeling a lot better about life. I was having a rough time for the past few weeks in regards to health insurance and life after Provo. I have picked myself up and dusted off and I feel like we have a plan and that whatever happens, it will be for the best. I am excited that we are moving and that we will have a new beginning in Arizona!

Tonight we had dinner at Dan's parents with Aunt Joan and Uncle Mo. Kathy was telling us about the bandit that has been stealing bird seed out of their bird feeder when he ran by on the street! Later we go home and she emailed these picture to us! I had to share because he is such a cute little bird seed bandit!

Friday Night Date Night

Dan and I went to Ruby River last night! We haven't been out on a night on the town in a while because of our busy schedule but we made time for it and had so much fun! After Ruby River we drove to West Valley up near Salt Lake and watched our friend Brent race his car at the Rocky Mountain Race Way Midnight Race. It was sooo fun! We got to hang out with Brent and see him in his element! I knew Brent's car was fast but I didn't realize that he has one of the fastest cars out of what seemed like hundreds of cars that showed up to race. I was so excited when he first came up and by the time him and other car were at the end of the race way everyone was on their feet! He did the quarter mile in just over 11 seconds! It was fun!
This is Brent's video from the night! He ran an 11.5 against another really fast car. They were both some of the fastest cars out there. Not to mention, Brent bought his motor from a junkyard for 90$!!

Beautiful!

My old roommate Renae posted this video on her blog. I am a sucker for this song, but my word its even more beautiful on Piano and Cello! I wish I could download it! Check it out... Jon Schmidt - Love Story/Viva La Vida!

2 Weeks 2 Days till Move Day

We are moving in 2 weeks... I still haven't decided when my last day of work will be... I can't really face it yet. I love the people here and have worked here for over 3 years. I feel like part of my identity is getting taken away. I have grown to love working and just hope I am able to find a new job soon.

I have also fallen in love with the people at Jamestown. I adore the residents there and I can't believe I have to leave them in 2 weeks. My friend Helen is always so excited to see me and tells me she has been looking for me (I don't think she realizes I don't intern everyday). This week I get to go on the Scenic drive with them up Provo Canyon. I am beyond excited because I love love love Provo Canyon, but sad because it will be my last trip up the Canyon for awhile.

I thought moving would be so much easier. I thought leaving Utah would feel so different. I am so happy to be moving back to Arizona. I cannot wait to be near my family and friends down there that I have been away from (pretty much constantly) for 5 years. It will also be hard to be away from my family and friends I have made here in Utah. Since my 3rd date with Dan I have been a part of his family and have spent so much of my time with his mom. This will be a tough move.

I do really hope we are able to get our little pug, that we have been hoping for, soon. I think he will be a nice addition to this new chapter in our life. That is all for now.

My Sunshine

This was the first photo Dan and I ever took together, it was the night he came back from Tennessee, the day before his 2nd quarter at Neumont started. We had just started dating. I remember that night very well. I remember thinking about what would happen with him and what on earth I was going to do with my life.

I can't believe its been almost 2 years since we met and almost a year since we were married! I feel so lucky that Dan and I are moving to Arizona in 20 days and that we are getting sealed in 35 days! We are going to have the best anniversary!

Wait... What

What am I going to do when I have no work to go to... have no more school work to finish... have no internship...

If I can get Health Insurance I know what I will do next. If not, then maybe I will find a cave and hibernate.

Dan Graduated!!!

I am so proud of my Daniel! He has worked so hard at Neumont and has done so well! I am so happy that he already has a job lined up that he starts one month from today! It is really fun to see this day come because Dan and I met right before he started attending Neumont nearly 2 years ago!
The graduation ceremony was nice and short (compared to mine!) Dan was the cutest one there... it was a nice small class that was graduating and it was so fun to have Matt here from Idaho to share the day with!

Visual Field Test

I am having my 2nd visual field test a little late. I was supposed to have one as soon as my vision returned to normal in February 2008, but I neglected it... and then I was supposed to have yearly tests to make sure my blind spots are not increasing. So boo I have not done my part, but I figured I am moving in a month and would like to see the doctor who diagnosed me with PTC and see how my eyes are doing.

No matter what my eyes will be better than they were when I had my first test done, but I am curious to see if they are in a good range or if my blind spots are bigger than they should be. Lets pray for good eyes. This is all important because visual blindness can creep up without much knowledge until its too late to reverse the damage.

If you have never had a visual field test, the best description is that it feels like you are looking into the Willy Wonka TV Room... You are looking into a big white box and tiny lights flash for about 30 minutes and you push a button as to which ones you see... its extremely tedious and boring!

Mothers Day

We have had such a nice day. We spent today at Dan's parents and made them dinner! Dan is a good chef! I realized this week that this is my first mother's day that I have not been in Arizona with my Mom. I miss my mom, but I look forward to moving down to Tempe in a month! I love Kathy and it was fun to be able to spend today with her.

Good Day Saturday

We love Hungry from the Weight Watchers commercial, so we bought a little magnet one to put on our fridge! Dan loves him!
We went up to Timp to do a session, there were a ton of weddings today which made the grounds super crowded. Dan and I made a home made "light" pizza... haha light and pizza don't often go together. But it was so good. We used vegan pepperoni and they were delicious!It was a wonderful Saturday!

Holy Batman, I want a pug!

When researching pugs, I came across this website. The questions were helpful and humorous!

QUESTION: Do Pugs really like to dress up in costumes like I see in all the pictures?
ANSWER: Actually, they usually do. Pugs are very extroverted dogs, and do just about anything for a laugh from their people. If they discover that wearing a costume makes you happy, they'll do it. If it gets them laughter and applause, that's even better!

Goodbye Biology

I don't have to take Biology 100!!! My petition got approved to use the physiology and microbiology classes I have already taken to count for the Biology 100 class! I don't think I will be as lucky for my Physical Science 100 petition, but I can dream!!! However, I am happy to be one class closer and only one class away from getting my degree!

1 month, 1 week & 1 day

Till we move... or so my little ticker says... HOLY MOLY I have so much to do before we move!!! ACK!

Fish Puzzle

Its been about a million years since I have worked on a puzzle, but Matt and Kandace do puzzles together! I really want to try this, except I hyper focus and want to finish the whole thing in one sitting... not good when I have school work I need to do, I'm sure.A post secret from today's blog was quit "fitting!"

Rexburg, Idaho

This has been such a great weekend! I don't wanna go back to Provo tomorrow! I love visiting with Matt and Kandace!!! We went and did a session at the beautiful Rexburg Temple this morning! It was so fun to see it. When I was a Junior in High School I was planning on coming to BYU Idaho for college and my mom and I came up here to see the school. Obviously that is not where I decided to go, but that was the last time I was in Idaho. Rexburg looks so great with a Temple sitting at the top of the hill! This afternoon Dan and I both went to Kandace's school, Paul Mitchell, and she cut our hair, and it looks FABULOUS! She only has 2 more days of school and she is done! We are so excited for her!
